Climate denial. Miz t. at Walgreen. [View all]

She's in line to pick up a prescription.
We're in coastal (hurricane prone) Alabama.
Guy in front of her says (more of less) "I want to get back to Chicago as soon as I can. (We get a lot of snowbirds). These hurricanes scare the hell out of me. Global warming."

The 'lady' in line behind Miz t. said "Global warming is a hoax."
The man looked at her.
"Are you serious?"
"Yes, it's a hoax."
Miz t. "When is the last time you saw three hurricanes in the south Atlantic or the Caribbean at the same time?"
'Lady'...nothing.
Miz t. as she picked up my prescription and walked out "Only idiots believe that."

Whoa!
Me: "Were you bigger than she?"
Miz t. "Yeah, by about a head. She was about 10 years younger."
Miz t. is 72.
"So you think you could have taken her if it came to a throw down?"
"Maybe, she had big hair. I could have gotten a grip."

Did I mention that I love this woman?
Cause I do.
